Key Lime Butter Grilled Grouper
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds of red grouper fillets
2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
2-3 Key limes

Grill time will depend on the thickness of your fillets, so watch for the red to dissipate from the fillet and the fish to become opaque and flaky.Carefully flip the fillets and continue to monitor doneness.Once the fillets are cooked through, place on serving dish and brush with any remaining butter.
This can be paired well with an avocado and tomato salad. Grouper is also known to go well with white wine!
